Synopsis

Build a rigorous foundation in the principles, equipment and judgement required for high-voltage work. High-voltage engineering brings together electric-field analysis, insulation science, transient phenomena, measurement, statistics and disciplined laboratory practice. This textbook develops those connections in a clear sequence for upper-level undergraduates, early-career power engineers and laboratory professionals.

Readers learn to analyse fields and insulation stress; explain breakdown in gases, liquids and solids; assess corona, flashover, lightning and switching overvoltages; apply insulation coordination and surge protection; generate and measure high AC, DC and impulse voltages; interpret dielectric and partial-discharge diagnostics; and plan tests with appropriate statistical and safety controls.

Worked examples connect equations to engineering decisions, while practice problems reinforce each major topic. Laboratory context, earthing and electromagnetic-compatibility considerations help readers move from theory to responsible test practice. Written in British English with SI units and 50 Hz conventions, the book provides a structured reference for study, design review and high-voltage laboratory preparation.
